9:27	Episcopal Church @iamepiscopalian T1: Myth: …oh, I'll never get the hang of the tweeter, and what would I say anyways? #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:27 iamepiscopalian

9:53	Steve Kenow @skenow @GodtheHealerDev hashtags are one of the ties that bind #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:53 skenow

9:53	ChurchSocMed #chsocm @chsocm As an aside, I wish there were a way to get the data on how many follow this chat w/o actively participating. #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:53 chsocm

9:54	Dan Webster @RevWeb T3b Whether IRL or online suggest listening, breathing is a good first step before jumping into a convo. #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:54 RevWeb

9:54	Paul Steinbrueck @paulsteinbrueck @chsocm T3b: Jump right in and try to sell people on an MLM ;) #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:54 paulsteinbrueck

9:54	Jon Lee @therealjonlee @bfelice Appreciate the welcome! #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:54 therealjonlee

9:54	Kurt C. Wiesner @kurtcwiesner T3a @vibeslyn @singingcarolyn nice reminder of different vocab: "lurking" is ok. "friend" has different meeting. and so on #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:54 kurtcwiesner

9:54	Julie @ohxjulie Sorry to have checked out, but even with a slow tweetdeck, the conversation is moving a little too fast for my headache. Night, all! #ChSocM Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:54 ohxjulie

9:54	Doug Weiss @DougWeiss T3b: Listen first and then join the conversation. #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:54 DougWeiss

9:55	Jonathan Conrad @pjconrad T3a advice: no direct eye contact. Oh wait that's the advice I give my Confirmands #notreaaly #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:55 pjconrad

9:55	Sam Zeigler @aliveforjesus T3b lurk then announce that you are going to randomly include your input... doing that right now #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:55 aliveforjesus

9:55	ChurchSocMed #chsocm @chsocm Would you believe we're almost at the hour? Before we close, how about final tweets of wisdom/inspiration? Brags from the week? #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:55 chsocm

9:55	Lori Ruge-Jones @loristoryteller and there's always next time, for ongoing groups; if you lurk this time, you may join in nexxt time #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:55 loristoryteller

9:55	Jeff Ross @JeffKRoss @kurtcwiesner I prefer "listening" to "lurking" #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:55 JeffKRoss

9:56	Sam Zeigler @aliveforjesus @JeffKRoss @kurtcwiesner in the case of this chat, watching might be a better term still #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:56 aliveforjesus

9:56	Jonathan Conrad @pjconrad Don't worry about the person you never was. Focus on who you are and who you can be by the grace of God. #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:56 pjconrad

9:56	Jeff Ross @JeffKRoss I appreciate the occasional spiritual lifts from fellow believers' tweets during the day. Keeps me grounded. #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:56 JeffKRoss

9:56	Lori Ruge-Jones @loristoryteller I appreciate the welcome and convo; I'll try to remember to join next week when I'm home again #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:56 loristoryteller

9:57	Kurt C. Wiesner @kurtcwiesner @aliveforjesus @JeffKRoss agreed, but the point still true that vocab and rules are different but based on kind and clear #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:57 kurtcwiesner

9:57	ChurchSocMed #chsocm @chsocm Final call for final tweets! #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:57 chsocm

9:58	Dan Webster @RevWeb Reconnected IRL with a high school/RC seminary friend now a Msgr/Pastor in a DC parish. He loves #chsocm but yet to dive in. He will now. Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:58 RevWeb

9:58	Shawn Miller @5h4wn I was a little late to the party and just never found a good time to jump in, so I was a "wurker" (watch +lurk) #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:58 5h4wn

9:58	Annabelle Markey @VicarBelle @chsocm Ok all, I'm out! Many blessings and thanks for the fun chat! #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:58 VicarBelle

9:59	ChurchSocMed #chsocm @chsocm Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work or watch or weep this night & give your angels charge over those who sleep. #chsocm Tuesday August 13, 2013 9:59 chsocm
